It presents a strategic and  economic analysis of diversification strategies and the growing  interface between different types of financial firms. On the basis of  a solid analysis of theoretical foundations and practical value, the  book develops basic concepts of creating the future: especially  solutions in managing risks and fresh ideas for the development of  integrated financial services. \u003cbr\u003e  The structure of the book is logical: starting on theoretical  foundations (section 1, part A) and examining the economic value of  All Finance and Financial Conglomerates (part B), leads to creating a  concept for the future (part C). Case studies add additional practical  value to this research. The review of the subject is completed by  aspects of risk management in this sector and by political guidelines  for the EU single market (section 2). \u003cbr\u003e   The book builds further on Professor Van den Berghe's first  publication, entitled \u003cem\u003eFinancial Conglomerates - New Rules  for\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eNew Players\u003c\/em\u003e (published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in  October 1995) and broadens the scope in the direction of strategic and  managerial aspects.
